1 RF Design: Will the Real E b /N o Please Stand Up? Errors derived from uncertainties surrounding the location of system noise measurements can be overcome by getting back to basics. By Bernard Sklar In digital communication systems, the important ratios of received signal-to-noise power spectral density (P r /N 0 ), and received bit-energy to noise-power spectral density (E b /N 0 ), as well as other similar signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), are often specified, somewhat imprecisely, as being located at the receiver input. This imprecision derives from ongoing uncertainty as to where exactly these SNRs should be defined or measured, and where exactly the proper, accurate reference point is for E b /N 0 in a receiving system. The errors that inevitably result from this uncertainty are compounded by the mistaken assumption that those local SNR measurements correspond to a system SNR model. They sometimes do, but not usually. In addition, receiver designers often choose a physical location within the receiver for their SNR (and system temperature) models that is different from the location that system designers generally use as a reference. To reduce the potential for error, the designer needs to clearly differentiate between measurements and models, and must fully understand how the modeling of such receiver SNR parameters has evolved. Also, errors in system analysis can be avoided by being aware of differences among the various disciplines in the communications community in terms of where that SNR measurement and system temperature should be taken. A digital communication receiver system (see Fig.1) can be described in a simplified manner as consisting of a receiving antenna, a lossy line, a receiver whose major components are amplifiers, a correlator or matched filter and a sampler, followed by a detector block (wherein discrete decisions are made). For simplicity, the receiver-block functions, such as frequency downconversion and equalization, are not shown, and the entire block will be treated as if it were a single circuit element. We assume that the received signal is degraded by thermal noise with a flat spectral density having a level of N 0 = kt watts per hertz, where k is Boltzmann s constant and T is temperature measured in Kelvin. Circuit element models The concept of effective noise temperature is a convenient model that allows the internal noise of a circuit element to be represented by the designer as an input source of noise temperature to an idealized version of that circuit. Fig. 2a illustrates this concept applied to an amplifier or an attenuator and summarizes the well-known relationships: Eq.1: T R = (F-1)290 Kelvin Eq.2: T L = (L-1)290 Kelvin where T R and T L are the effective temperature of an amplifier (receiver) and attenuator (lossy line), respectively. Also, F and L represent noise figure and loss factor, respectively. Fig. 2b shows the model being applied to a pair of cascaded circuit elements (a lossy line plus an amplifier), where the gain of the lossy line can be expressed as 1/L. The resulting composite noise temperature, T comp, is expressed as: Eq.3: T comp = T L + LT R Measurement points Whenever an SNR measurement is made at some location in the receiver, APRIL 2003 COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS DESIGN 23
2 ing the noise power from the first measurement, and forming a signal-powerto-noise-power ratio, or SNR. Point B: See Eqs: 5a and 5b in Equation Table 1, where P B r is the received signal power (stemming from a waveform measurement at point B), and N B 0 is noise-power spectral density inferred from a measurement at point B. (The effective temperature of the lossy line, T L, has already been given in Equation 2.) Note from Equation 5a and Fig. 3 that (1/L) (T Ant + T L ) represents the source noise temperature at point B. Point C: See Eqs: 6a and 6b in Equation Table 1, where point C reprethen T is represented by the local noise temperature (T local ) at that location. As shown, T local (whose effect can be measured at a chosen observation or reference point) accounts for the source noise power (see Fig. 3). The effect of a load is ignored since it cancels out in the computation of SNR. Measurement locations Fig. 3 shows three measurements of T local and P r /N 0 at points A, B and C within the receiving system. Use of the superscripts A, B and C with any parameters indicates that measurements are made at these respective locations. For each of these points we can describe the following relationships: Point A: See Eqs. 4a and 4b in Equation Table 1. Where P r A is received signal power (stemming from a waveform measurement at point A), N 0 A is noisepower spectral density as inferred from a measurement at point A and T Ant is the antenna temperature (the source noise temperature in Fig. 3). Note that an SNR measurement is often accomplished in a three-step process. First, an information signal is applied to the communication system, and the received waveform power is measured at the output of the receiving antenna. The power in this received waveform is directly proportional to the power in the signal plus noise. Next, the signal is removed, and a received noise-power-only measurement is made. The final step consists of subtract- Errors can be avoided by awareness of the noise locations used by the various comms disciplines. sents the sampled output of the matched filter (whose output is a baseband pulse) and P r C is the received signal power (stemming from a measurement at point C). The noise-power spectral density N 0 C at point C can be measured directly (in the no-signal case) by measuring the noise power N at point C. This is so because for thermal noise with one-sided spectral density N 0 W/Hz, the output noise power of a matched filter is equal to N 0 watts [1]. From Equation 6a and Fig. 3, (G/L) (T Ant + T L ) + GT R represents the source noise temperature at point C. The amplification (power gain) of the receiver block is denoted G, and the effective temperature of this block, T R, is given in Equation 1. The measurements indicated by Equations 4-6 illustrate an SNR degradation as we progress from point A to point C (which agrees with our intuition). For each of the SNR measurements, we can ignore all circuitry to the right of the measurement point, since any load must affect the numerator and denominator of the SNR in the same way. The predetection point The demodulation/detection function of the receiver in Fig. 1 can be described as a two-step process. In step 1, during each symbol duration, a correlator or matched filter recovers a baseband pulse representing a digital symbol, which is then sampled. The output of the receiver s sampler (point C), termed the predetection point, yields a test statistic consisting of two components a received symbol and noise. The test statistic has a voltage value that is directly proportional to the energy contained in both the symbol and the noise, and thus contains the essence of the SNR metric. In step 2, a decision (detection) is made regarding the discrete meaning of that symbol. The result is an information digit (a bit, for binary modulation). The accuracy of the detection step is a function of the predetection SNR. In a digital receiving system, the predetection point is a key location representing the place where all error-performance analysis is focused. To obtain bit-error probability P B as a function of E b /N 0, the important action takes place within the detector block the more signal energy associated with the sample (vs. N 0 ), the better will 24 COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS DESIGN APRIL
3 be the error performance. Thus, the short answer regarding the location of E b /N 0 is that, by definition, it is located at the predetection point. But the long answer (which we will cover in much detail below) is that the short answer is much too simple, since it doesn t reflect the model that is generally used when specifying such SNRs. As a quick aside, note that E b /N 0 is defined Fig.4 at a place where there are no bits yet. Bits will appear only after completion of the detection process. Perhaps a better name for E b /N 0 would be energy per effective bit vs. N 0. The link budget In compiling the well-known link budget, the system P r /N 0 is often expressed (with reference to point A of Fig. 3) as shown in Eq.7 in Equation Table 2, where EIRP is the effective isotropic radiated power out of the transmitting antenna, G r is the gain of the receiving antenna, L s is the space loss and L o is a placeholder for other losses. In Equation 7, T S represents system effective temperature, and N 0 = kt S. We will examine this model later. A link budget tells us something about the quality of the detected data at the receiving system. That is, the value of P r /N 0 resulting from Equation 7 can be used to characterize system error performance. To do that, the P r /N 0 represented here must correspond to the value measured at point C (the predetection point) in Fig. 3. Although the system P r /N 0 need not be described in terms of a measurement at point C, whatever model (reference point) is used must yield an equivalent value, as if P r /N 0 were being measured at point C. History of SNR In the early days of digital communications, P r /N 0 measurements were made directly at point C in Fig. 3, or else they were made at point A, the output of the receiving antenna, and from there translated to the predetection point by invoking the SNR degradation introduced by the lossy line and receiver. Next, E b /N 0 was computed via the straightforward relationship described in Eq.8 in Equation Table 2, where R is the data rate in bits per second. When it came to characterizing a system in terms of the received predetection SNR, it was soon realized that a useful system model of P r /N 0 would allow the same predetection SNR to be expressed at the output of the receiving antenna (or at any arbitrary reference point in the receiving system), not just at point C. When referring to textbooks, one sees that P r /N 0 and E b /N 0 are often characterized as being located at the output of the receiving antenna. This can be confusing because one might conclude that a simple measurement at the output of the receiving antenna could be used directly as the system SNR that is needed when preparing a link-budget analysis. This is not the case. The system SNR or P r /N 0 can only be measured in a straightforward way at one place the predetection point. But, it can be modeled at other 26 COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS DESIGN APRIL
4 places in the receiver. In the sections below, we enumerate the important differences between measurements and models and how to avoid system errors by not confusing the two. A model can conveniently characterize a system so that the system can be represented analytically in a simple way. However, parameters of the model cannot generally be measured. The act of modeling does not modify the underlying process (as measurements usually do), since there are no instruments to interact with the system. tem effective temperature with reference to point A, made up of a source noise temperature plus a noise temperature due to the composite circuitry that follows point A. The concept behind the parameter T S A is that it represents a model which allows us to imagine that all of the noise temperature contributing to Modeling does not modify the underlying process since no instruments interact with the system. the total system noise appears at point A in Fig. 4. As a result, we can imagine that the total system noise appears at the antenna output. Point B : See Eqs.11a and 11b, in Equation Table 2, where T S B is the system effective temperature with reference to point B. Note that the third term in Equation 11b in Equation Table 2 illustrates how the system effective temperature, when modeled at point B, makes it appear that the noise temperature contributing to the total system noise appears at point B in Fig. 4. Point C : See Eqs.12a and 12b in Equation Table 2, where T S C is the system effective temperature with reference to point C, and we assume that T comp C = 0. When we compare the Fig. 3 relationships in Equations 4 to 6 with those of Fig. 4 in Equations 10 to 12, we Assuming an accurate model, any point can be a permissable reference point for E b /N o. should see that the former, illustrating degraded signal-to-noise ratios in moving from points A to C, reflect real measurements. On the other hand, the latter, which illustrate a fixed-system P r /N 0 ratio at each of the points A to C, reflect a model that yields the system (predetection) signal-to-noise ratio at each of the chosen points in the receiving system. Such a modeled predetection SNR can be expressed at any arbitrary reference point in the receiving system. In the model, even though the signal power System model of P r /N 0 Whenever the system is specified or characterized by a predetection SNR with reference to some point in the system, then T is represented by the system temperature (T S ) modeled at that point. We shall designate the system temperature as T S x, using a superscript to indicate some reference point x. Fig. 4 illustrates that T S x accounts for the system (not just the source) temperature ascribed to that point. For each of the points A, B and C shown, T S x can be represented as shown in Eq.9 in Equation Table 2, where the parameter T S x models the noise temperature of the composite circuitry that follows the point x, and T S x is typically different at different reference points in the system. Fig. 4 illustrates a predetection signalto-noise ratio (which we can now call the system SNR) being modeled at three different and distinct locations, denoted as reference points A, B and C. These points represent the same physical locations as points A, B and C in Fig. 3. The primes are used to emphasize that we are no longer making measurements at these points. Instead, we are now modeling the system SNR (with reference to these points). Such system SNRs can be measured only at point C (or point C in Fig. 3). For points A and B such modeled system signal-to-noise ratios do not physically exist. The primes also ensure that we do not equate the SNR measurements from points A and B in Fig. 3 with the SNR models (having similar labels) from points A and B in Fig. 4. For each of the reference points in Fig. 4, we can describe the following T S and P r /N 0 relationships [1]: Point A : See Eqs.10a and 10b in Equation Table 2, where T S A is the sysand the system temperature each differ at diverse locations in the receiving system, the system ratio P r /N 0 (where N 0 = kt S ) is the same at any chosen reference point in the system. The real temperature We look upon system effective temperature, T S, as the parameter that accounts for all the noise power in a receiving system. Therefore, for a given system, isn t there just one fixed value of T S? Are there several system temperatures? Yes, there are. System effective temperature is a model that accounts for all the noise power ascribed to a chosen reference point within the system. Most engineers become comfortable with just a single reference point, and therefore think in terms of a fixed T S for a given system. Note that system designers, antenna designers and those working at the transmitter side of a system generally choose the output of the receiving antenna (point A in Fig. 4) as their reference point for T S and received power, P r. But receiver designers generally prefer to describe T S and P r at the input to the receiver (point B in Fig. 4). Assuming that the antenna and receiver are connected via nothing more elaborate than a lossy line having a loss factor L, then in the context of Fig. 4, T A S = LT B S, and P A r = LP B. r And, of course, points A and B will exhibit the same system SNR specification. But what about the well-known G r /T S figure of merit for a receiving system expressed in Equation 7? How is that affected by different system temperatures? In a similar fashion: At point A, the figure of merit can be expressed as G A r /T A S, where G A r is the gain of the receiving antenna. At point B, the same ratio is equivalently expressed as shown in Eq.13 in Equation Table 2. The reason there is not just a single value for T S is the same reason there is no single value for P r or G r. They are each affected by the gains and losses in the circuit chain, and their individual values depend upon the chosen reference point. Locating, modeling E b /N 0 We have already given the short answer as to where E b /N 0 is located or defined, namely at point C, the predetection point in Fig. 3 (or the same point C in Fig. 4). APRIL 2003 COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS DESIGN 27
5 We raise the question again in the context of a model. Where exactly in a receiving system can E b /N 0 be referenced? When dealing with the model of system effective temperature reviewed above, the same value of E b /N 0 can be gleaned from the system SNR expressed at any arbitrary point in the receiving system. In comparing the SNR in Equation 6b at point C in Fig. 3 with the SNR in Equation 12b at point C in Fig. 4, we see that the measured SNR at point C is the same as the modeled SNR at point C. This is so because it is only at this predetection point that the actual noise temspecifying the value of E b /N 0 and other such SNRs. Assuming an accurate model, the answer is: Any point can be a permissible reference. In the evolution of receiver specifications, however, the output of the receiving antenna has been the most commonly used reference point in such SNR modeling. For more on RF measurement, see: Improving Accuracy in EDGE-Based Devices ; OEG S0050 perature T local C is equal to the system effective temperature T S C. For other locations, system effective temperature represents a convenient model whose manifestations cannot be measured at the point being referenced. In the evolution of specifying SNRs in receiving systems with a model, the output of the receiving antenna (point A in Fig. 4) is the location that is most often used as a suitable reference point. Through the above analysis we answered the question regarding where exactly in a receiving system is the proper reference point for establishing or Simulating Tradeoffs in W-CDMA/ EDGE Receiver Front Ends ; msdesign.com/story/oeg s0048 RF Design of a TDMA Cellular/PCS Handset: Part 1 ; main/2000/02/0002feat1.htm RF Design of a TDMA Cellular/PCS Handset: Part 2 ; main/2000/03/0003feat2.htm References 1.
